I operate a full-service graphic design studio based in the Boston area offering design, art direction, and project management services for content-rich print & digital media. Our work includes books, magazines, newsletters, catalogs, annual reports, programs, and marketing collateral work such as brochures and direct-mail. We also design and content-manage websites, and consult on social media integration.

We excel at creating media products that integrate words, images and interactivity to produce compelling, well organized publications and web environments.

What sets me apart as a designer is that I can think like an editor. Design is not just about looking good; it must reinforce or add a new dimension to the text, present an appropriate visual tone, and guide the reader.

Directed the visual design of a major web relaunch for the Mind & Life institute, a leader in the field of contemplative science. The new site was intended to refocus the Institute as a thought and research leader in the field, and frontload original editorial and research content.
